Stupid talk by Sam Michael that Big 3 would dominate again next season. Considering the mess of a season McLaren has had and his own history he shouldn't really be talking like this. There was already a driver from outside the three teams who ranked above both his team's drivers. Next season, I won't be surprised two such drivers, one from Lotus and one from Mercedes, rank above both drivers of his team.

(oh and as a footnote this picture was taken many years ago at Odsal Stadium, current and long-suffering home of the Bradford Bulls rugby league team.....they only have rugby there now despite the thousands who used to flock to Odsal for the stock cars through the 80s and 90s. This is why i chuffin' hate rugby league.)
